Duh!

If you thought getting Boost to build for x64 was fun, why not round it 
off with linking openEXR...

Why the **** must everyone invent their own build process? Can't they 
just stick to *EITHER* what Visual Studio has to offer, *OR* use a nice 
proper makefile??

But no - apparently a software isn't sophisticated enough until it needs 
its own obscure home-brewn build tools, so that you have fun trying to 
compile *that* first (let alone getting it to do what it should). Where 
boost has bjam, openEXR prefers to use post build steps with some 
"createDLL" tool. Needless to say that, of course, that tool is 
hard-coded to *not* be compatible with compiling for x64...

*RRRRAAAAWWWRGH!!!*

(*bites keyboard*)

Well, there's hope: I did find a site on the internet from someone 
claiming to have set up a Visual Studio project to compile openEXR on 
x64; but while that's busy downloading, I guess I'll have another bite 
of my input device...
